Chapter 2474: Chapter 2450: If You Can’t Drink Well, You Can’t Fly Well
"Our helicopter is airborne, everyone listen up, it’s our helicopter, do not attack! Do not attack! Team Two, please respond once received, over!"
"Team Two here, well done, support us quickly, over!"
Eileen piloted the Longbow Apache without stopping or hesitating, flying at ultra-low altitude directly towards the position where Team Two was attacking.
Actually, if possible, Gao Yang and Eileen both wanted to seize the remaining helicopters as well, as having one helicopter in the air provided an absolute advantage.
But you can’t be too greedy. Trying to seize the remaining helicopters and allowing enemy-operated helicopters to take off would be disastrous. After all, Glolov’s team hadn’t approached the remaining helicopters yet, so the situation didn’t permit greed. It was better to quickly destroy the uncontrolled helicopters on the ground.
Eileen went to support Team Two. Tarta and Hammer had completed their cover mission and could also pilot helicopters now.
Tarta reached for the rear cockpit of the helicopter; the Apache’s flight cockpit was at the back, with the co-pilot and weapons operation seats at the front.
But Tarta couldn’t reach the cockpit cover. He was shorter than Eileen, and crucially, he had gotten fatter and older.
"You’re embarrassing, lucky they didn’t see it."
"Shut up, help me!"
The Black Demon hadn’t previously worked under the same command system with Satan, so Tarta and Hammer habitually ignored the small tech advancement of the intercom’s automatic voice pickup.
Listening to Tarta and Hammer’s conversation, Satan’s crew all consistently didn’t remind them. It’s awkward to tell two older people they’ve made a mistake—it might hurt their pride. But strangely, Vasily also didn’t remind them.
"Give me a push!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, you’re too fat! Can you do it? Or should I pilot and you operate the weapons."
"Shut up, you crashed the helicopter last time, get in."
"That was just an accident, close the cockpit cover, do you want to get shot?"
"Hammer, there’s a problem."
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s all screens, where are the instruments? I’ve never seen a cockpit like this, where are the instruments? What...what the hell is all this?"
"Let me see, you fool, this is American high-tech!"
"I still like instruments; having everything on a few screens, how is that better? Ah! I’ve powered on, hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Wait, why can I always hear your voice on my headphones?"
"What? Oh, our intercom’s automatic voice pickup, as long as there’s conversation... F**k! Vasily, do you want a beating?"
Vasily’s voice, filled with a sense of revenge, came through the intercom. He slowly said, "You two are having such a good chat, how does it feel to make a fool of oneself in front of so many people? Who told you not to include me in the fun?"
Tarta angrily said, "Just wait, you’re dead, Vasily!"
Hammer hurriedly said, "All right, we’re behind the times, you should have accepted this long ago, hurry up and take off!"
Tarta urgently said, "Damn, which one is the altimeter? Fuel gauge... here, start, start! Damn, wait, wait, I need to turn off the intercom, it’s unsettling me."
"Then there will be no communication, can’t you just talk less? You keep telling others to shut up, can’t you learn to shut up yourself?"
"Okay okay, hold on, I need a sip."
"What are you doing? Are you drinking?"
"Yes, I always have a small bottle of vodka for battles, don’t you know?"
"You’re drinking now?"
"Can’t fly well if I don’t drink well, ha! All right, we’re taking off."
"You hid some? Tarta! You’re hiding stash? You shameless bastard."
Tarta indeed shut up, and Gao Yang wanted to say something, but wisely kept silent in the end.
The helicopter wobbly took off, but its ascent was poor; not a vertical takeoff, but a slanted lift-off while moving forward.
If the takeoff area was spacious, it wouldn’t be a problem, but it was very cramped, and there were trees and houses around, so it was a serious issue.
Gao Yang finally couldn’t help but say, "Watch out! Watch out! You’re going to hit...uh, height, height! Curtis, don’t..."
The helicopter’s front wheel lightly scraped over a rooftop, then flew past. It was just a scrape, but if Tarta hadn’t controlled the flight attitude, the helicopter would have hit a tree.
Bullets crackled against the helicopter; Hammer couldn’t help but shout into the intercom, "You’re going to crash, ascend, ascend, ascend, you idiot! Even hovering would be better, damn, you can’t! Bastard!"
Tarta skillfully scraped over the treetops and then finally roared, "Shut up! Shut up! I haven’t flown for thirty years, I need to get familiar! Now it’s fine, nothing’s wrong, close your damn mouth!"
Gao Yang’s heart almost jumped out of his throat, finally watching Tarta fly the helicopter and quickly disappear. He took a deep breath.
If the two from the Black Demon crashed due to helicopter failure, it would be truly funny and a huge loss.
But Tarta shakily managed to get the helicopter off the ground, and Eileen had already reached the helicopter landing site where Team Two was attacking.
Eileen arrived just in time, and an Apache Helicopter was taking off, already off the ground.
"Attack, take it down!"
Eileen couldn’t help but shout, while Joseph loudly said, "We don’t have flight helmets, I can’t use the helmet sight, but let’s try this..."
Having helmet sights would be more convenient, but not having them didn’t mean weapons couldn’t be fired. Joseph held the gun handle and aimed at the helicopter that had just left the ground.
The 30mm rounds first hit the ground, kicking up dust and explosive flashes, but then the line of bullets swept onto the helicopter, hitting from the tail to the nose.
The enemy’s just-taken-off Apache nosedived and crashed, causing a violent explosion on the ground.
"Another two Apaches down? What’s going on, was it you, Big Dog? Over."
"Yes, we prioritized attacking the Apaches, over."
"Oh, nothing, a shame, we’ve gained control. Should we take out the remaining Black Hawks? I think it’s a bit of a waste, over."
Glolov hurriedly said, "Destroy all helicopters, then support the strike team, the battle isn’t over yet, feeling bad for enemy stuff, are you crazy?"
"Sorry, going to support the strike team immediately, over."
After speaking, Eileen reluctantly said, "Porcupine, open fire, destroy the remaining two helicopters, we’re heading back."
